Quotes by Yevgeniy Brikman (?)

“The best thing you can do to come up with a lot of new ideas is to learn a lot of old ideas. Because new ideas are just connections between old ideas, the more ideas you have in your head, the more connections you’ll be able to create between them.”
― Yevgeniy Brikman, Hello, Startup: A Programmer's Guide to Building Products, Technologies, and Teams

“what kind of environment encourages new ideas? It varies from person to person, but here are the most common ingredients: Give yourself plenty of time. Keep an idea journal. Work on the problem. Get away from work. Add constraints. Look for pain points. Talk to others.”
― Yevgeniy Brikman, Hello, Startup: A Programmer's Guide to Building Products, Technologies, and Teams
